Thin-film photovoltaics

Solar cell thin film analysers are used to facilitate research and development (R&D) into novel photovoltaic architectures by monitoring the processing conditions for epitaxial deposition of photovoltaic materials. These growth methods cover a range of advanced techniques, such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) and radio frequency sputtering, which are used to generate a ...

"I am honored and proud to chair the world’s largest international scientific photovoltaics conference in my home country,” says Smets. “Research has played a crucial role in making solar energy the lowest cost power generation ...

The photovoltaic modules are installed directly onto the sheet metal roof (different variants) with an integrated rail system. This gives you a double benefit: You gain a new roof and save the costs for an elaborate subconstruction for fastening the modules.
